Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

In una Napoli calda e luminosa, in una terra che è espressione del mito romantico, si intrecciano due vicende fantastiche. Due vicende che sono avvolte in un doppio velo onirico. Théophile Gautier ha la capacità di far lievitare i colori dei luoghi e della storia in un mare magnum di sensazioni ora chiare ora meno nitide. "Jettatura" è la storia di una identità sdoppiata e della trasfigurazione di una bellezza nella morte. Gautier ci porta nell'affascinante mondo napoletano ottocentesco dove, tra folklore, credenze, sfide e passioni, si sviluppa la difficile storia d'amore.

Story
Sono atmosfere rarefatte e surreali a fare da sfondo ai racconti di Disadorna. Seguendo quel tocco lieve e ironico che contraddistingue il realismo magico tutto padano di Dario Franceschini, incontriamo uomini storditi di fronte alla vastità del mare, ci perdiamo nella nebbia che avvolge la pianura, scoviamo ricordi e amori lontani, vediamo le storie con gli occhi dei protagonisti. Forse, ci dice l'autore, è proprio nelle cose più semplici della vita che si nasconde la felicità.

Uno scrittore, appena arrivato da Roma, scopre che l'evento a cui doveva partecipare è stato annullato all'ultimo minuto. Il viaggio, in apparenza inutile, gli fa conoscere una enigmatica maestra e lo porta all'incontro fortuito con un manoscritto ambientato nel paese di Lossiniere, "Il libro di Clara e Riki", e con il mistero della sua autrice: una bambina di otto anni.
